| - 2016-12-29. Toronto is one amazing City! It's one of my favourite cities in the World and the only one that's worthy of rivaling NYC. Took the kids skating and they loved it. The place is packed (as always), and they were setting up for New Years Eve. While it lovely in the day, the night scene is pretty nice too.
A very diverse city, Toronto is truly a melting pot of cultures. If you're a foodie, this is definitely a place to visit and there will be plenty of good eats for you to try. They're not quite up to par with the food trucks yet (as NYC is), but there are plenty of excellent restaurants both in the city and the GTA (Greater Toronto Area) to satisfy any craving. While the city is pricey, the place is also filled with hidden gems where you can find great food at a decent price.
If you're the tourist type, there's also plenty for you to check out regardless of season. They have beaches in both the East end of the city (Woodbine) and West (Mississauga). They have nightlife (Entertainment District), Live Performances (Downtown), Harbourfront (Queen's Quay), History (Distillery District). If you're into diverse cultures, they have 2 Chinatowns (old in Riverdale and new at Spadina), Little Italy (Palmerston), Little Portugal, Greektown (Danforth), Little India (Greenwood). If you're into shopping there are major malls (Eaton Centre, Yorkville/Bloor (high end), Yorkdale, Sherway Gardens). If you're willing to venture out of town, Square One (Mississauga), Vaughan Mills (Vaughan/Maple), and Premium outlet shopping (Halton Hills).
If you want to save some green on the parking rates from place to place, Toronto has a great transit system as well. Transfers from the Underground Subway to Street Cars and Buses are included provided it's one continuous trip. As a tourist, look at the rates for an all day pass (at a subway collector booth) or family pass should you want to sight see or snap some scenes. Also Check out the P.A.T.H., the World's largest underground shopping complex, it's Toronto's underground pedestrian walkway. It encompasses over 30 km (~20 mi) of distance linking 50 downtown office towers and major tourist attractions like the Hockey Hall of Fame, the Air Canada Centre, the CN Tower, and more.
Another tip: look for online deals for a Toronto City Pass if you plan on attending several attractions (Ripley's Aquarium, Casa Loma, Royal Ontario Museum, Art Gallery of Ontario, CN Tower, Ontario Place, Ontario Science Center, the Toronto Zoo, etc.) and you can save as much as 40% off admissions prices.
Much like NYC, there's plenty to do and see; and like NYC, it's expensive! Stay for as long as you can afford to in order make the most of your trip.
